Team News: Nouha Dicko leads Wolverhampton Wanderers line against Blackpool

Wolverhampton Wanderers have placed their trust in lone striker Nouha Dicko to lead the attacking line against visiting Blackpool in the Championship this afternoon.

The hosts will feature a 4-5-1 formation, which fails to include the enterprising Bakary Sako who is away on duty with Mali at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Travelling Blackpool will be fronted by a strike partnership of Steve Davies and Nathan Delfouneso, with creative support coming from Jamie O'Hara and Andrea Orlandi in midfield.

Jose Miguel Cubero and defender Gary MacKenzie are still missing through injury, but Darren O'Dea does make the bench despite picking up a knock against Millwall last week.

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Ikeme; Iorfa, Batth, Stearman, Hause; McDonald, Price, Henry, Edwards, van La Parra; Dicko

Blackpool: Lewis; McMahon, Clarke, Hall, Dunne, Perkins, Oliver, O'Hara, Orlandi, Delfouneso, Davies
